Description Suggestion
Major Features:  The Yellow Wall is home to several Gunks Hardman(TM) Classics, including its namesake route [[105798924]], and the stellar moderate [[Airy Aria]]105806589. It is notable by the shade of rock that the tiered roofs ascend.

North of [[105798924]], you'll pass several alcoves of routes: The [[Sting]]105898985 area, with [[Lisa]]106148478's left-facing corner; the [[Ventre de Boef]]105814941 area, for bombay-chimney masochists; [[Double Crack]]105806583, splitting the steep left wall of the gully after [[Ventre de Boef]]105814941; then finally the Seasons area. Just past [[The Spring]]106018746 is the short chimney of [[Oblique Twique]]106018758, and the next mini-alcove features the finger crack of [[Blistered Toe]]106018762. Ahead on the trail you'll find an unmistakable bombay-chimney-hand crack; this is [[Last Frontier]]106657433, which marks the start of the Slime Wall area.

Approach:  The [[trail to Yellow Wall and Airy Aria]]112043520 heads up from the carriage road between two boulders. The [[trail to The Seasons]]112043529 diagonals up from the carriage road just past the boxcar boulder.

Descent: [[Airy Aria]]105806589 has a pair of bolts atop P1.

There is a shared bolted anchor on top of the block over the Fall, which also serves [[Oblique Twique]]106018758, [[The Spring]]106018746 and [[The Summer]]106948350, and is a better descent choice than the crusty fixed tat for [[The Winter]]106238729 and [[Bold-Ville]]105806624.

Many other routes have slung-tree anchors. From the clifftop, it's not far to head back to the [[105798994]] rappel line.
